The Mozart Effect
Can listening to Mozart really improve your child's IQ? The Mozart Effect suggests that your child can increase their intelligence by listening to Mozart's music.
It claims to have the backing of scientific research and has generated a vast literature.
In 1993 at the University of California, physicist Gordon Shaw and Francis Rauscher, an expert on cognitive development, played the first ten minutes of the Mozart Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major to a group of college students. The result, they found, was a temporary increase in the students' spatial-temporal reasoning, for about ten minutes. The Mozart Effect was born.
Some British parents are convinced of the benefits. Shradha Sarogi, mother of two girls, says: "'My father studied in America and he reads a lot of books on child psychology. He told me to listen to Mozart because it's very important. Especially when I was pregnant. I got the music because I read about it that the beats of Mozart, like it's 60 beats in one minute, coincide with the heartbeat of the foetus. So it makes the child intelligent.
"They become more sharp. They respond more and they become brighter. I play them any classical music, not the rap or the pop music because I think that makes them very violent and disturbed."
In fact Mozart can be played at a variety of speeds, and some recorded rock music has 60 beats per minute. So, if the claims are true, some rock music should be equally effective in raising IQ.

Dance/movement therapy or "DMT" is founded on the principle that a vital connection exists between personality and the way in which one moves, and that changes in movement behavior affect the emotional, intellectual, and physical health of the individual.
Dance/movement therapy is effective as a technique to help
those with eating and body image problems. 
One of the ways DMT helps, is through the development of mindfulness of bodily sensations leading to more realistic sense of body boundaries. Because this development happens within the safety of a therapeutic relationship, it can be emotionally corrective.
Dance has existed in every human culture and is used in ritual, rites of passage and as a cathartic healing tool.
In early civilizations dancing, religion, music and medicine were linked.
Modern dance/movement therapists use the power of dance and movement to help individuals access their own natural ability to heal and grow.
